PEEF A E. /^ 



The study of tlie best classic authors will fail to make any 
student of German master of the language as it is daily spoken 
in Germany. Neither will any Grammar, not even the so- 
called Conversation Grammars, after which our own complete 
Grammar is prepared, give to the student the mastery of the 
German as used in business, on travel, at a hotel, in the chit- 
'^hat of society, or in the common conversation of every- 
day life. Yet all those who wish to speak German, and 
especially all those who intend to visit Europe, or desire 
* «ter course with Germans in this country, are in need of a 
work which shall enable them to learn here at home the con- 
versational language of Germany. This the Echo, in the 
main a reprint of the German Echo by "Wolfram, aims to 
supply. It is designed to furnish the learner with an exten- 
sive vocabulary of words and expressions in common use; to 
free him from the embarrassments which the peculiarities of 
his own tongue are likely to be to him; to make him 
thoroughly familiar with the use of proper idioms ; in 
short, to provide him with the material for intelligent, cor- 
rect and varied conversation, and to enable the learner also 
to understand the language as spoken, one of the greatest 
difficulties to be encountered in the practical use of a foreign 
language. The method here adopted differs greatly from 
that generally developed in the conversational books. It 



IV 



PREFACE 



teaches the learner not to translate his thoughts but to 
think in the language which he is to speak. He is carried, 
as it were, into the very midst of the scenes of actual hf e, and 
is taught to sustain his share in the interchange of social 
talk. At the same time, he learns much of the manners and 
customs of the country whose language he is seeking to mas- 
ter, and is thus not .only enlarging his familiarity with the lan- 
guage, but also with the people themselves. As to the most 
advantageous use of the book, we can do no better than give 
the motto which Prendergast has adopted for his "mastery" 
series: "Gutta cavat lapidem non vi sed scepe cadendo (The 
drop hollows the stone, not by force, but by the frequency of 
its fall)." 

The dictionary at the end is that prepared for the German 
Echo by H. P. Skelton, but has been carefully revised.

VOCABULARY 

OF THE 

WORDS OCCURRING IN THE GERMAN ECHO. 

WITH EXPLANATIONS OF IDIOMS AND 

OF PECULIARLY CONSTRUCTED 

PHRASES. 



USEFUL PREFATORY REMARKS. 



1. Vekbs used as substantives must be translated by the present 
participle ; e. g., ba^ ^ommen unb ®e^en, the coming and going; 
ba^ fjifc^efangen, the catching offish, or catching fish. 

2. In sucb phrases as : c^ fle^t ju ^offen (il est a esperer), tuo id) an^ 
jutreffen tin, etc., the infinitive active must be translated by the 
infinitive passice : it is to he hoped^ where I am to he found. 

3. The present participle is used as an adjective, and sometimes 
as a noun; e. g., bie ktreffenbc <B<x6)t, the thing in question; bic 
SJorui^erge^enben, the passers-by. 

4. The past participle is also used as an adjective ; e. g., bic au^ge^ 
jogenen Seute, the people who have left. 

5* T he learner will remember that the past participle of regular 
verbs is formed by the prefix "ge"; the simple verb must then 
be sought for. The irregular participles occurring are given in 
the Vocabulary. 

6. It is expected that the scholar is sufficiently familiar with the 
particles to know that they are separated from their verbs, and 
follow at the end of the sentence. In looking for such verbs he 
must treat the particle and verb as one word ; e. g., au^fe^fn, 
ieibringen. 

7. Adjectives are sometimes used as substantives, esx)ecially after 
ctmaiJ ; e. g., bic ^leine, baa ©riinc, etwa^ Sd)onea, the little one (/.), 
the green color, something fine. 

8. The great majority of adjectives are at the same time adverbs ; 
e. g., fd)nctt, quick, quicTdy. 

9. As in German the formation of compound words is almost un- 
limited, in many cases the learner will be obliged to seek for the 
component parts of such words separately ; e. g., SEBaibmann^grup. 

10. The affixes c^en and letn are diminutives, or affixes of familiarity 
or endearment, and are used almost ad libiti/m ; the meaning 
of the simple word must be looked for ; e. g., -^anbdjen from |)anb, 
.Slard^en from ^lara. 

11. Words commencing with the diphthongs ae (a), oe (o), ue (ii). 
wUl be found by looking for them under the simple vowel, as if 
no e were there; e. g. dljnlid), as if spelt a^nltd^, Del as if Dl, iibel 
as if u&et.

TESTIMONIALS. 

From Pros'. Alokzo Coluu, Cornell Colilege, Iowa, 
I am pleased with it. I have decided to introduce it as a text-book. 

FromB.. F. Johnsox, President Madison CoUege, Sharon^ Miss. 
I am pleased with Peck's Ganot, and think it a magnificent book. 

From Pkof. Edward Bkooks, Pennsylvania State Normal ScJiooh 
So eminent are its merits, that it will be introduced as the text-book upon el» 
meutary physics in this institution. 

From H. H. Lockwood, Professor Natural Philosophy XT. S, Naval Academy. 
I am so pleased with it that I will probably add it to a course of lectures given tc 
the midshipmen of this school on physics. 

From Geo. S. Macktb, Professor Natural History University of Nashville, Tenn. 

I have decided on the introduction of Peck's Ganot's Philosophy, as I am satis- 
fied that it is the best book for the purposes of my pupils that I have seen, com- 
bining simplicity of explanation with elegance of iUuetration. 

From W. S. McKae, Superintendent Vevay Public Schools, Indiana. 
Having carefully examined a number of text-books on natural philosophy, I do 
not hesitate to express my decided opinion in favor of Peck's Ganot. The matter, 
Btyle, and illustration eminently adapt the work to the popular wants. 

From Eev. Samuel McKinney, D.D., Pres't Austin College, Huntsville, Texas. 

It gives me pleasure to commend it to teachers. I have taught some classes with 
It as our text, and must say, for simplicity of style and clearness of illustration, I 
have found nothing as yet published of equal value to the teacher and pupil. 

From C. V. Spear, Principal Maplewood Institute, Pittsfield. Mass. 
I am much pleased with its ample illustrations by plates, and its clearness and 
pimplicity of statement. It covers the ground usually gone over by our higher 
classes, and contains many fresh illustrations from life or daily occurrences, and 
new applications of scientmc principles to such. 

From J. A. Banfield, Superintendent Marshall Public Schools, Michigan. 
I have used Peck's Ganot since 1863, and with increasing pleasure and satisfac- 
tion each term. I consider it superior to any other work on physics in its adapta- 
tion to our high schools and academies. Its illustrations are superb— better 
than three times their number of pages of fine print. 

From A. ScmrsxER, Prof, of Mathematics in Baldivin University, Berea, Ohio. 

After a careful examination of Peck's Ganot's Natural Philosophy, and an actual 
test of its merits as a text-book, I can heartily recommend it as admirably adapted 
to meet the wants of the grade of students for which it is intended. Its diagrams 
and illustrations are unrivaled. We use it in the Baldwin University. 

From D. C. Van Norman, Principal Van Norman Institute, New York. 
The Natural Philosophy of M. Ganot, edited by Prof. Peck, is, in my opinion, 
the best work of its kind, for the use intended, ever published in this country. 
Whether regarded in relation to the natural order of the topics, the precision and 
clearaese of its definitions, or the fullness and beauty of its illustrations, it is cer- 
tainly, I think, an advance.

TESTIMONIALS. 
Frotn Samuki, B. McLane, Superintendent Fublie Schools, Keokuk, Iowa. 
I am glad to see a really good text-book on this much neglected branch. This is 
jlear, concise, accurate, and eminently adapted to the class-room. 

From, "William F. 'Wy^m.s,, Principal of Academ,y, West Chester, Pennsylvania- 

A thorough examination has satisfied me of its superior claims as a text-book to th« 
(ittention of teacher and taught. I shall introduce it at once. 

From'Tl. R. Sanfoeo, Principal of East Oenesee Conference Semiruiry, N. Y. 

"Jarvip' Physiology" is received, and fully met our expectations. We immediktely 
adopted it, • . ' . 

Froyi Isaac T. Goodnow, State Superintendent of Kansas— published in connection 
loith the '•'■ School Law." 

" Jarvis' Physiology," a common-sense, practical work, ■with just enough of anat- 
omy to understand tlie physiological portions. The last six pages, on Man's Respon 
sibility for his own health, are worth the price of the book. 

From D. W. Stevrns, Superintendent Public Schools, Fall River, Mass. 
I have examined Jarvis' " Physiology and Laws of Health," which you had the 
kindness to send to me a short time ago. In my judgment it is far the best work of 
the kind within my knowledge. It has been adopted as a text-book in our public 
schools. 

From. IIeney G. Dennt, Chairman Book Committee, Boston, Mass. 
The very excellent " Physiology " of B>. Jarvis I had introduced into our High 
School, where the study had been temporarily dropped, believing it to be by far the 
! best work of .the kind that had come under my observation; indeed, the reintroduc- 
tion of the study was delayed for some months, because Dr. Jarvis' book could not be 
had, and we were unwilling to take any other. 

From Peof. A. P. Pkabodt, D.D., LL.D., Harvard University. 
• • I have been in the habit of examining school-books with great care, and 1 
hesitate not to say that, of all the text-books on Physiology which have been given to 
the public. Dr. Jarvis' deserves the first place on the score of accuracy, thoroughness, 
method, simplicity of statement, and constant reference to topics of practical interest 
and utility. 

From James N. Towwsend, Superintendent Public Schools, Hudson, N. Y. 
Every human being is appointed to take charge of his own body; and of all books 
jwritten upon this subject, I know of none which will so well prepare one to do this as 
" Jarvis' Physiology " — that is, in so small a compass of matter. It coTisiders the 
pure, simple laws of health paramount to science : and though the work is thoroughly 
scientific, it is divested of all cumbrous technicalities, and presents tlie subject of phy- 
sical life in a manner and style really charming. It is unquestionably the best text- 
book on physiology I have ever seen. It is giving great satisfaction in the schools ol 
this city, where it has been adopted as the standard. 

From L. J. Saijfokd, M.D., Prof. Anatomy and Physiology in Yale College 
Books on human physiology, designed for the use of schools, are more generally a 
failure perhaps than are school-books on most other subjects. 

The great want in this department is met, we think, in the well-written treatise of 
Dr. Jarvis, entitled " Physiology and Laws of Health." ♦ * The work is not too 
detailed nor too expansive in any department, and is clear and concise in all. It is 
not burdened with an excess of anatomical description, nor rendered discursive by 
many zoological references. Anatomical statements are made to the extent of quali. 
fyjng the student to attend, understandingly, to an exposition of those functional pro- 
cesses which, collectively, make up healtli ; thus the laws of health are enunciated, 
and many suggestions are given which, if heeded, will tend to its preservation.

'^FOtJETEEN WEEKS" IN EACH BEANCH. 

By J. DORMAN STEELE, A. M. 

Steele's 14 Weeks Course in Chemislry • Oi cO 

Steele's 14 Weeks Course in Astronomy . i 50 

Steele's 14 Weeks Course in Philosophy • i £^ 

Steele's 14 Weeks Course in Geology. • i so 

The unparalleled success of the first volume, " 14 Weeks in Chemistry^'' encont* 
aged the publishers to project a complete course upon a similar plan, and designed 
to make the Natural Sciences popular. 

Our. Text-Books in these studies are, as a general thing, dull and uninteresting. 
They contain from 400 to GOO pages of dry facts and imconnected details. They 
abound in that which the student cannot learn, much less remember. The papU 
commences the study, is confused by the fine print and coarse print, and neither 
knowing exactly what to learn nor what to hasten over, is crowded through the 
single term generally assigned to each branch, and frequently comes to the close 
without a definite and exact idea of a single scientific principle. 

Steele's Fourteen Weeks Courses contain only that which every ■well-informed 
person should know, whUe all that which concerns only the professional scientist 
is omitted. The language is clear, simple, and interesting, and the illustrationa 
bring the subject within the range of home life and daily experience. They give 
Buch of the general priaciples and the prominent facts as a pupil can make famil- 
iar as household words within a single term. The type is large and open ; there 
is no fine print to annoy ; the cuts are copies of genuine experiments or natural 
phenomena, and arc of fine execution. 

In fine, by a £?ystcm of condensation peculiarly his own, the author reduces each 
branch to the limits of a single term of study, while sacrificing nothing that is es- 
sential, and nothing that is usually retained from the study of the larger manuals 
in common use. Thus the student has rare opportunity to economize his time, or 
rather to employ that which h^has to the best advantage. 

A notable feature is the author's charming " style," fortified by an enthusiasm 
over his subject in which the student will not fail, to partake. Believing that 
Natural Science is full of fascination, he has moulded it into a form that attracts 
the attention and kindles the enthusiasm of the pupil. 

The recent editions contain the author's "Practical Questions" on a plan never 
before attempted in scientific text-books. These are questions as to the natiu-e 
and cause of common phenomena, and are not directly answered in the text, the 
design being to test and promote an intelligent use of the student's knowledge of 
the foregoing principles. 

Steele's General Key to his Works- -. • • *i so 

This work is mainly composed of Answers to the Practical Questions and Solu- 
tions of the Problems in the author's celebrated "Fourteen Weeks Courses " in 
the several bciences, with many hints to teachers, minor Tables, «S;c. Should b« 
on every teacher's desk.

From S. A. Snow, Principal cf EigJi ScJwol, Uxbridge, Mass. 

Steele's 11 Weeks Courses in the Sciences are a perfect success. 

From John W. Doughtt, Ketoburg Free Academy, N. Y. 

I was prepared to find Prof. Steele's Course both attractive and instmcti-^. My 
highest expectations have been fully realized. 

From J. S. Blackwell, Prest Client College, Ky. 

Prof. Steele's unexampled success in providing for the wants of academic classes, 
has led me to look forward with high anticipations to his forthcoming issue. 

From J. F. Cook, Prest. La Grange College, Mo. 

I am pleased with the neatness of these books and the dclightftil diction. I have 
been teaching for years, and have never seen a lovelier little volume than the As- 
tronomy. 

From M. W. Smith, Prin. cf High School, Morrison, 111. 

They seem to me to be admirably adapted to the wants of a public school, con- 
taining, as they do, a sufficiently comprehensive arrangement of elementary prin- 
ciples to excite a healthy thirst for a more thorough knowledge of those sciences. 

From J. D. Bartlet, Prin. cf High School, Concord, N. H. 

They are just such books as I have looked for, viz., those of interesting style, 
not cumbersome and fiUed up with things to be omitteck by the pupil, and yet suf- 
ficiently full of facts for the purpose of most scholars in these sciences in our high 
schools ; there is nothing but what a pupil of average ability can thoroughly 
master. 

From Alonzo Norton Lewis, Principal of Parker Academy, Conn. 

I consider Steele's Fourteen Weeks Courses in Philosophy, Chemistry, &c., the 
best school-books that have been issued in this country. 

As an introduction to the various branches of which they treat, and especially 
for that numerous class of pupils who have not the time for a more extended 
course, I consider them invaluable. 

From Edward Brooks, Prin. State Normal School, Millersville, Pa. 

At the meeting of Normal School Principals, I presented the following resolu- 
tion, which was unanimously adopted: ''' Peeohed, That Steele's 14 Weeks 
Courses in Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, or an amount equivalent to v.'hat 
is contained in them, be adopted for use in the State Normal Schools of Pennsyl- 
vania." The works themselves will be adopted by at least three of tke schools, 
and, I presume, by them all.
